Bengaluru: 10-year-old girl comes under wheels of BMTC bus after slipping from scooter; dies
Bengaluru: A 10-year-old schoolgirl died in an accident involving a BMTC bus on Kogilu Main Road at Yelahanka in Bengaluru on Thursday morning, reported The Hindu.
The victim, identified as Tanvi Krishna, a Class 5 student, was travelling on a scooter with her mother, Harshitha, on their way to school.
Police said Harshitha lost control of the two-wheeler, causing both of them to fall. While the mother sustained minor injuries, Tanvi, who was riding pillion, slipped under the bus and died on the spot.
The Yelahanka Traffic Police have registered a case against the bus driver for rash and negligent driving.
BMTC officials said the accident occurred around 8.20 a.m. near Yelahanka when the scooter lost balance due to roadwork and a parked vehicle. CCTV footage showed the two-wheeler skidding towards the rear wheel of the bus. BMTC officers reportedly visited the spot.
This is the third fatal accident involving BMTC buses in three days.
On August 20, a 64-year-old man, P. Sampangi, died at the Jayanagar bus terminal while trying to board an electric bus. Police said he slipped and came under the bus after the doors closed.
On August 19, a 37-year-old software engineer, Roshan, was killed at Sanjay Nagar when his two-wheeler lost control and he came under a moving bus.
A Class 5 student, who was to celebrate her birthday tomorrow, lost her life in an accident that was not her fault - dreams shattered.

Maoist carrying bounty of Rs 15 lakh among four killed in gunfight with security forces in J’khand
Hazaribag (PTI): Four Maoists, including one carrying a reward of Rs 15 lakh on his head, were killed in a gunfight with security forces in Jharkhand's Hazaribag district on Friday, police officials said.
The encounter took place in the Khapia forest area within the Keredari police station limits, following a tip-off.
"Four Maoists were killed in a gunfight with joint forces in 'Operation KotiNeer'. The Maoists killed have been identified as regional committee member Sahdeo Maho, carrying a reward of Rs 15 lakh, Ranjit Ganjhu, Zonal committee member, carrying a reward of Rs 10 lakh," IG, CRPF, Saket Kumar Singh told mediapersons.
The remaining two are Area Commander Budhan Karmali, carrying a reward of Rs one lakh and sub-zonal committee member Natasha, a woman who hailed from Gadchiroli in Maharashtra.
SDPO of Barkagaon, Pawan Kumar, said that no security personnel were injured in the operation.
The Maoists killed were wanted in about 80 cases.
With the encounter, only 57 Maoists are left in the state, the IG said.
A number of arms were also recovered during the operation including two AK 47 and one INSAS rifles.
The development comes close on the heels of a fierce exchange of fire between a Maoist squad headed by Misir Besra, who carries a bounty of Rs 1 crore, and police personnel on April 15 in Jharkhand's West Singhbhum. Four security personnel were injured in the encounter.
The Centre has already informed the state governments that there are no Naxal violence-affected districts in the country, more than five decades since Left Wing Extremism (LWE) originated in India.
The declaration followed a high-level security review held earlier this month by the Ministry of Home Affairs under the mandated 'National Policy and Action Plan to Address Left Wing Extremism' formulated in 2015.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah informed Parliament on March 30 that India was free from Maoists.
